Install Unity Hub

• Download Unity Hub (the manager for Unity installs and projects) and create an account https://unity.com/download

Using the Unity Hub Installer

When you install the Unity Hub for the first time, the Unity Hub runs and opens the welcome page. To use the Hub, sign in with your Unity ID. If you don’t have a Unity account, select Create account

• Configure file structure in Unity Hub, install, example:

  D:\Unity\
  ├─ Editors\       ← all Unity versions installed here
  ├─ Projects\      ← your projects live here
  ├─ Cache\         ← package manager + temp downloads
